Body trimming for tyres

oos_ya_daddy · Dec 29, 2008

Hi all.

I was on here the other week asking about tyres types. Thanks for all the help !.

Ive decided to go for the Recips in either a 265 / 70 or 75 R16. They are the same price on EBay (£350). Ive looked on the "Land Rover Discovery Tire Fitment Guide", but I dont fully understand the terms, Rear fender trimming and Front endcap trimming. Ive read all the info about the camel cuts and I can do that with no problem. Ive got no front splitter or ends (are these the endcaps). Any chance anyone could just put a circle on a drawing before I buy the tyres and realise what I need to cut is way beyond my capability.

Also where can I get the steering stops and bump stops ? I was under the impression from my research that you could avoid rubbing on the radius arm by ajusting the steering lock screw ?

Am am not intending to do a lift in the short term. Im putting larger tyres on purely for clearance under the car, no other reason.

Thanks Guys !

When you put them on it'll become obvious where you need to cut away. It's not hard.

Hehe they certainly will. And if you don't like it doing it for itself the noise will tell you where you need to chop a bit more off

iv just put a set of 235 85 16 on my disco and had to cut a fair bit off the rear fender for them to fit might be an idea after you cut the fenders cut a siries of slits into the arch lips thats left then fold them up for that bit more clearance hope this helps
